What old movies have you only seen on TV or on video that you wished you could have seen (or someday see) on the big screen? This question may be about movies that were made before you were born, and the answers don't necessarily have to be for science fiction or fantasy films.
I have been lucky enough to live near theaters that have either shown a few old movies that were briefly re-released, or they were shown for fundraising events by non-profit organizations. This is what I've been able to see since the 1980s:
1. Lawrence of Arabia
2. Gone with the Wind
3. The Wizard of Oz
4. Bye, Bye Birdie
5. Key Largo
6. White Christmas
7. It's a Wonderful Life
8. 2001
9. Rear Window
10. a number of Disney re-releases (in the 1970s)
I had never seen 2001, Window, Lawrence or Largo (or the Disney films) before I saw them in the theater. However, the other movies were films I had watched numerous times, and it was interesting what you see on the big screen that you would never have paid attention to on TV. (darn near pulled my hair out when I saw Rear Window--it was soooo nerve-wracking!)
I keep hoping that I will someday be able to see the following in the theater:
1. Music Man (it was my favorite movie until Apollo 13 came along)
2. The Sound of Music
3. Frank Capra's Lost Horizon
4. Giant
5. Dr. Zhivago
